The net, malls 'n shopping centers know me 'n mine as “closeout shoppers.”

:-D

Bulge almost worked, actually it was a good surprise attack that the allies couldnt even think could happen.  ONce again the circumstances.

That is far more impressive than the de-clawed cat of my youth chasing the dog of my youth (who was twice her size) about the house.

That is a cat with serious attitude.

Perhaps this needs to be moved to political discussion after my comments:

Shanghai is quite nice, and, yes, Beijing needs a ton of work.  Although I don’t think when people say that they think that Beijing city authorities should kick out thousands of poor residents on the city outskirts in preparation for the 2008 Olympics.

Overall, though, China has some significant problems that it needs to work out if it’s going to overtake the U.S.  Their environmental policy is god-awful.  90% of their water is undrinkable, and the dust storms that roll off the northern border are large enough to create their own weather systems.  There was also that benzene spill that happened last year, the one that was 50 miles long.  Unfortunately, while that was a notable case, it’s not the only one.

Also, China is definitely benefitting from its cheap labor supply right now.  The problem, however, is that their current birth rate is not high enough to maintain the population (1.73 children/woman versus the 2.3 widely considered necessary to prevent population declien), and in about a decade or 15 years, they will have an elderly population that makes the baby boomers and the problems associated with it look like nothing.  The Chinese need to start shifting to service industries, like India has, in order to keep their economy rolling.  It’s fine for a time to develop manufacturing capacity, but they don’t necessarily have the supply of educated workers that can compete and perform the way the country needs.  Also, some estimates of public debt mark it as 85% of GDP.

This isn’t to say that the U.S. doesn’t have massive problems as well.  But the infrastructure in the U.S. is well-established, and the procedures time tested but still open to change and challenge.  I think that’s a significant advantage over China, and while I know you aren’t saying that China will overtake the U.S., I think these are all points in favor of caution.

Tube of mentos and a 2 liter bottle of pepsi!

@Chengora:

Thanks, Jen.  I’m still waiting for Tom’s Hardware to update their CPU chart, but my understanding was that Intel initially released only its two top Core 2 Duo processors for testing.  I understand that the other 3-4 lower end processors were also being tested, but I wasn’t sure which if anyone had done it yet.

I probably should just be patient, though, since DirectX 10 cards haven’t even come out.  :-D

I’m going with the 1.83 Ghz Duo in my laptop.  Should be good enough.

@balungaloaf:

indeed its a lucky charm in india i believe.

kinda’ like green clovers, blue diamonds  . . .

@nwitch:

Global Cooling was heavilly covered in scientific papers in the 1970’s, so no need to fictionalize it.

As for devolution… also already covered in print, for more than 100 years…
The Time Machine by H.G. Wells.

Ho-hum.
A poster with no imagination.

Under the Bismarck sortie the BC Prince of Whales should have been finished off and the 2 ships together made way for Brest. Then waited for Tirpitz to come out along with Scharnhorst and Gneisenau (spelling). Those 4 BB would have been something to behold. The admiralty would have been in stiches. Most of her capital ships were on convoy escort in many locations and the Germans had the advantage of deciding to focus on a single point of there choosing.

The book “one flew over the cuckoos nest” is from the indians point of view.  Its even better than the awesome movie.

Some books  -
      The bear and the dragon  by tom clancy        Very long.  again uses character jack ryan as president during a war b/w Russia and China

Ismael and My Ismael by daniel quinn          Girl talks to a gorrila that can communicate through physcokenisis or something like that.
                                                                The ape “Ismael” tries to teach the girl how the world is totally F’ed up and how the world controlles people through “mother culture”.  A lot of going back to tribal ways and no locking up of the food.  Question work.  That stuff

The story of B by daniel quinn.      Same ape only about religion this time.

Banking on Baghdad by i forget.    The history of foreign influence in iraq going back to around 3000 b.c.

Yes water is useful because it has a neutral pH, and also due to its continued dissociation between hydroxyl and hydrate ions

I think it’s all symbolic.
The true sign is that Israel will be drowned in peat.  Or Bushmill’s, I can’t tell.

Everyone who flies knows that the airlines are extremely tight - especially American ones.  I"m not an American, and i even know that when flying to/through the States you gotta’ watch your P’s and Q’s.  She’s just a stupid dummy.

No.  I am not Asatruar.

I am a non-practicing Eclectic Neo-Pagan.

Kinda like Americans buying t-shirts with Japanese symbols…
cuz they like the feel of the material or the artwork.

My thought is, “Wadit say?  Wadit say?”

I liked the guy shopping for pink Camo for his wife.

They better be careful with the kid though.  If they buy him grey camo they may lose him in the rubble… :-D

Do they have child abuse/neglect laws in palestinian occcupied territories??

Saw a nitwork news broadcast within the last four days which had the mayor of a large Middle East city(I thought in S Lebanon.) holding small ball bearings blasted from a bomb.  It killed peeps.  The film footage showed a coupla street signs blasted fulla holes.  I thought the mayor spoke, but was dubbed over with news commentary or translation.

Now I read this article…

Damn!  I cannot keep this hsit straight…or somebody got a story wrong…or ona Herbollah’s rockets was a lil off course…or I have information overload(TMI.)

Anyone else see and recall the news story??

sounds kind of like this story:

BENTONVILLE, Ark. - For 40 exhausting minutes, Wayne Goldsberry battled a buck with his bare hands in his daughter’s bedroom.

Goldsberry finally subdued the five-point whitetail deer that crashed through a bedroom window at his daughter’s home Friday. When it was over, blood splattered the walls and the deer lay dead on the bedroom floor, its neck broken.

Goldsberry was at his daughter’s home when he heard glass breaking. He went back to check on the noise and found the deer.

“I was standing about like this peeking around the corner when the deer came out of the bedroom,” said Goldsberry. The deer ran down the hall and into the master bedroom — “jumping back and forth across the bed.”

Goldsberry, about 6-feet-1 and 200 pounds, entered the bedroom to confront the deer and, after a brief struggle, emerged to tell his wife to call police. After returning to the bedroom, the fight continued. Goldsberry finally was able to grip the animal and twist its neck, killing it.

Goldsberry, sore from the struggle, dragged the dead animal out of the house.

“He got kicked several times. He was walking bowlegged for a while,” Deputy Doug Gay said.

At this time of year, a buck that sees its reflection in a window often charges, believing it is fighting off a rival, Gay said.

Goldsberry had the deer butchered.

“He’s in the freezer,” the man said before walking to the kitchen and showing off pounds of freshly wrapped venison.
